I have been looking for a 60 hz, 1350 kW rated synchronous generator that runs at 3600 rpm.
I can't seem to find one!
It is essential for my project that the generator be synchronous and generate at 60 hz. It is also essential that it run at 3600 rpm. There is flexibility in power rating (down to say 600 kW), and supply voltage is also flexible.
Can anyone point me to an available product/source?
Can anyone explain to me why it seems so hard to find a synchronous machine in this size range at 3600 rpm? There are many options available at 1800 rpm. Is there physics underlying the synchronous machines that render operation at 3600 rpm infeasible in this size range?
Thanks in advance!
